I love how Ramis is so tired lol and walks out eventually! He literally wants to sleep! Congress usually wouldn't hold meetings at 3 AM but this was an emergency meeting so...
He did blow during the video and left because cocaine is often spliced with baby laxative in order to dillute it by scummy drug dealers so he had to go poop.
I have only been to IHOP a couple times in the past 40 years. But it was a frequent stop when I was a kid, those Chocolate Chip Pancakes were the best.
Unbelievable! The audacity! How could that congress man say that! This bill is NOT a waste of time and waffle batter and pancake batter is decisively similar but make 2 diffrent things!!
This is why I didn't vote for Rep. Nelson. I knew he would bring disgrace to our state. Look at him talking about IHop when there are clearly bigger issues on the table.
I swear, I don't know anything about politics, I laugh my ass off at this all the time. "Can you turn the lights down please?" LOL! I love the Onion, so much win.
in a model UN stimulation at school, i submitted an amendment for us all to get lunch so we can finally EAT. it got through but the teachers wouldn't open the doors.
